PETER JACKSON is a believer - and he reckons that if the fans are too, Town will be celebrating promotion in May.

The Galpharm boss says the supporters have a crucial role to play as a squad boosted by the arrival of striker Luke Beckett and goalkeeper Matt Glennon strive for success after the disappointment of last season's play-off loss.

"Last season was a major frustration for us all, but we have every reason to be optimistic now," he said.

"I'm happy with my two signings and I'm happy with our fitness.

"Our fans were great last season, especially away from home, when their presence is a major lift for the lads.

"While away wins are a real tonic, it's crucial to make the Galpharm a stronghold, and the supporters clearly have a part to play in that.
